“…Previous studies on adolescent development and its connection to the family often distinguished three stages of youth development: namely, early, middle, and late adolescent stages (Clark-Lempers, Lempers, & Ho, 1991;Dworkin & Larson, 2001;Laursen et al, 1998;Loy & Norland, 1981). In general, three types of stage-specific outcomes may be anticipated in regard to parental influence on youth's suicidal gesture.…”

“…Empirical research, however, has not yielded unequivocal findings with regard to gender-and stage-specific parent-youth influences: Some has shown that parent influence tends to decline during adolescence with some differences among boys and girls (Seydlitz, 1991). Others have reported increase of parental influence for girls toward late adolescence (as compared with early and middle adolescent stages), whereas parental influence on boys tends to fluctuate (Loy & Norland, 1981). Still others reported that age patterns depend on gender of parent, in addition to gender of youth (Buist et al, 2002).…”

Data from a nationally representative sample of adolescents studied at two points in time are used to examine gender-specific influence of parent-youth closeness on youth's suicidal ideation and its variations by stages of adolescence and race or ethnicity. Logistic regression analyses yielded interesting findings: (a) Closeness with fathers exerts an important influence on girls, and this effect is observed regardless of stages of adolescence and race/ethnicity; (b) the influence of fathers on boys declines toward late adolescence, and fathers’ effect is more pronounced among Native and Asian American boys; (c) closeness with mothers is important for boys of early and late teens but not among midteens; and (d) relationship with mothers exerts little influence on girls with the exception that among Asian American girls, closeness with mothers does exercise a weak effect (i.e., more so than White girls). These results are discussed in light of their theoretical and policy implications.
